Our time has come, we must take justice in our hands I feel heavy and hard, but that's just the way it is There out to steal our dreams I'll cry out dignity Will we find in the art we play, will we roll the dice?
And some of us will die For freedom to survive Standing here ready for action Come on dream it on
Streets of fire Light up the night Fading desire I fall and rise Streets of fire Arise in the fog In the streets of fire War raging on
Surrounded and unnumbered No fear of destiny We won't run, we won't hide This town will be painted red
There will be no begging for mercy See they're closing in We're all men, not mice The faith will stay alive
One slash is all it takes Just the swing of the knife in the hand Lies nothing but a game to play and the rules are prepared for your death Time to live and time to die, but we keep our hand Brothers let's pray and just say our goodbyes Then send them to hell
